Airline schedules can change, and some services operate on selected days rather than daily. Flight listings also show some direct flights from Liverpool, Bristol and Newcastle, so check these routes with the airline for your dates. Use the table as a starting point, then confirm your chosen route through the airline or a live flight search.
London is a strong starting point for comparing direct flights to Lisbon because several airports serve the route. Heathrow offers flights with British Airways and TAP Air Portugal, while Gatwick, Luton and Stansted provide additional options depending on the airline and timetable.
When comparing London departures, check the cost of getting to each airport as well as the flight fare. A cheaper ticket from a less convenient airport may cost more overall once you include rail fares, coach transfers, parking or an overnight stay.
You can compare options across London's airports on our flights from London page.
Manchester Airport offers direct flights to Lisbon with easyJet, Ryanair and TAP Air Portugal in current route listings. The route is worth comparing if you live in the North West or want to avoid travelling to London before your trip.
Look at the complete fare, including baggage, seat selection and any additional charges. Also check departure and arrival times, especially if you need public transport to or from Manchester Airport.
Explore your options through flights from Manchester.
Birmingham Airport has direct services to Lisbon with easyJet and Ryanair in current schedule listings. It can be a practical departure point for travellers in the Midlands who want to avoid a journey to London.
Compare your preferred dates and check which airline operates the flight. If you are planning a short break, make sure the departure and return days give you enough time in Lisbon to make the trip worthwhile.
Start with our flights from Birmingham page.
Travellers in Scotland can compare direct flights from Edinburgh with easyJet and Ryanair. The flight generally takes just over three hours, although the exact duration depends on the service and schedule.
Check which days have flights available before booking accommodation or arranging onward travel. If your preferred dates do not work, compare nearby dates and the options from Glasgow.
You can also explore flights from Edinburgh.
easyJet operates direct flights between Glasgow and Lisbon on selected dates. Current schedules indicate that services are not necessarily available every day, so flexibility can be helpful when planning your trip.
Compare the available departure dates with those from Edinburgh. Include the cost and time of getting to either airport before deciding which option offers better overall value. See flights from Glasgow for your dates.
Comparing airports, airlines and dates can take time. Tell the TravelApp UK team your nearest airports, travel dates and baggage needs, and they can compare the options for you.
The best airline for your journey depends on the route, travel dates, baggage requirements and fare conditions. Comparing the final price rather than just the advertised fare can help you avoid unexpected costs.
Ryanair is worth checking if you are looking for a low starting fare on a route it operates. Its standard fare includes one small personal bag measuring up to 40 × 30 × 20 cm, which must fit under the seat in front of you.
A larger overhead cabin bag generally requires Priority and 2 Cabin Bags or another applicable fare or add-on. Checked baggage usually costs extra unless it is included in your booking.
Review the current Ryanair baggage policy before comparing the total cost.
Best for: Travellers who can travel light and find a suitable fare on their preferred dates.
easyJet is another option for direct flights to Lisbon from selected UK airports. Its standard small cabin bag allowance is up to 45 × 36 × 20 cm, including handles and wheels, with a maximum weight of 15 kg.
A larger cabin bag or checked bag may cost extra unless included through an eligible fare or benefit. Check the current easyJet cabin bag rules and any applicable charges before booking.
Best for: Travellers comparing low-cost fares and choosing the baggage allowance they need.
TAP Air Portugal offers direct flights to Lisbon from London and Manchester, with additional options depending on the route and timetable. It may also suit travellers who want to compare different fare types or continue their journey to another destination in Portugal.
Baggage and other inclusions depend on the fare and itinerary. TAP's published fare conditions distinguish between options such as Discount and Classic, so check whether your ticket includes checked baggage, seat selection and other services.
If you are travelling beyond Lisbon, compare the complete itinerary and connection time rather than treating a connecting journey as a direct flight.
Check the latest TAP Air Portugal baggage information before booking.
Best for: Travellers comparing fare inclusions and onward connections.
British Airways operates direct flights between London Heathrow and Lisbon. It is worth comparing if you prefer a full-service airline or want to review its fare conditions alongside other options.
Baggage allowances depend on the ticket type. Basic fares can have different checked-baggage inclusions from other Economy fares, so confirm what your chosen ticket includes before comparing prices.
If you collect Avios, check whether your selected flight and booking qualify under the applicable programme terms.
Best for: Travellers comparing Heathrow departures, fare conditions and loyalty benefits.
There is no single cheapest airline for every journey to Lisbon. Ryanair and easyJet are worth checking for low starting fares, while TAP Air Portugal and British Airways may offer better overall value when their fare inclusions suit your needs.
To compare prices fairly, search the same dates and passenger numbers across the available airlines. Then include the cost of cabin baggage, checked luggage, seat selection and other extras you expect to use.
Before choosing a flight:
Compare the same outbound and return dates.
Check nearby departure airports if you can travel flexibly.
Add the baggage and seat options you need.
Review flight times, connections and airport transfer costs.
Check the final price and booking conditions before proceeding.
A lower headline fare may not be the cheapest overall option if you need to pay for several extras. Focus on the complete journey and choose the flight that suits your budget and plans.
There is no booking date that guarantees the lowest fare. Prices change according to demand, the time of year, available seats and how flexible your travel dates are.
Historical route data from flight comparison websites can offer useful context, but it cannot predict the exact fare you will pay. Instead of relying on a supposed cheapest weekday or fixed booking window, compare different dates and check the total cost of each suitable option.
Compare different departure dates. If your plans allow, check a few days before and after your preferred dates. A small change may reveal a different fare or more convenient flight time.
Plan ahead for popular travel periods. Summer, Christmas and UK school holidays can be busy. Searching early gives you more options to compare, although it does not guarantee the lowest price.
Check different departure airports. A direct flight from a regional airport may be more convenient than travelling to London. Compare the flight fare alongside the cost of reaching each airport.
Compare the total price. Add baggage, seat selection and other extras before deciding which fare offers better value.
Review the booking conditions. Check whether the fare permits changes, what is included and when payment is due. Book when you find a suitable option rather than waiting for a price that may never appear.
For more planning advice, see TravelApp's guide to cheap flights and holiday packages for 2027.
Flight prices vary by departure airport, airline, travel dates, demand and the type of ticket you choose. A fare available today may change before you book, and a low advertised price may not include the baggage or extras you need.
When comparing flights, check:
The total fare for your chosen dates and passengers.
Whether cabin baggage and checked luggage are included.
Seat selection and other optional extras.
Departure and arrival times.
Airport transfer costs.
Connection times and the conditions attached to the ticket.
If you are travelling with family or taking checked luggage, compare fares with those requirements included. This gives you a more realistic view of the cost before you make a decision.

Direct flights to Lisbon (LIS) run from London Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton and Stansted, plus Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh and Glasgow, with some flights from Liverpool. The London airports and Manchester have flights every day, while the regional airports have fewer flights a week. For low starting fares, compare Ryanair from Stansted and Manchester with easyJet from Gatwick and Luton, or look at British Airways and TAP Air Portugal from Heathrow for a full-service option.
A direct flight from the UK to Lisbon takes between about 2 hours 45 minutes and 3 hours 20 minutes. Flights from London take around 2 hours 50 minutes, Manchester flights take about 3 hours, and flights from Edinburgh or Glasgow take around 3 hours 15 minutes. Lisbon is on the same time as the UK, so you land at roughly the same clock time as the flight length.
Ryanair and easyJet often have the lowest starting fares, but their basic fares only include a small under-seat bag.

January has been the cheapest month to fly to Lisbon from London, Manchester, Birmingham and Edinburgh. July and August have been the most expensive months from London. These are past patterns rather than guarantees, so compare a few dates either side of your plans when you search flights to Lisbon.
